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

At 10:44:03 UT on 21 Jun 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210621A (trigger 645965048.749786 / 210621447).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 248.3, Dec = -61.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 16h 33m, -61d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 8.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 78.0 degrees.

MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 210621A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 30285) errorbox  353 sec after notice time and 399 sec after trigger time at 2021-06-21 10:50:43 UT, with upper limit up to  15.2 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 75 deg. The sun  altitude  is -9.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -9 deg., longitude l = 327 deg.
