The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

"At 04:37:01.48 UT on 28 July 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 260728A (trigger 806906226/260728192).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 262.86, Dec = -48.57 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 31m, -48d 34'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 3.53 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 64 degrees.
