Jin-Ye Luo, Chen-Wei Wang, Yue Wang, Hao-Xuan Guo, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team: 

GECAM-B was triggered on-ground by GRB 260825A at 2026-08-25T13:07:19.000 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #45439) and AstroSat/CZTI (Harsha K. H. et al., GCN #45466).

According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of 45 +7/-13 s.
