N. Pankov (IKI), O. Spiridonova (SAO) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN
and SAO GRB follow-up team.

We observed the field of the GRB 261113A (Saccardi et al., GCN 46244;
Frederiks et al., GCN 46268; Dagoneau et al., GCN 46270)
at the redshift of z = 3.580 (Saccardi et al., GCN 46261;
Perez-Garcia et al., GCN 46264) with the 1.5-m AZT-20 telescope
of the Assy-Turgen Observatory on 2026-11-14T13:09:44--
2026-11-14T14:15:32 UT (t_mid - T0 = 0.96639 days).

The OT (Lei et al., GCN 46248; Li et al., GCN 46249; Yin et al.,

Dimple et al., GCN 46266; Jelinek et al., GCN 46271; Wei et al.,
GCN 46274; also observed in NIR: Lin et al., GCN 46247; Brivio et al.,
GCN 46260) is clearly detected in our stacked image.
The results are as follows.
