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

At 20:20:40 UT on 7 Nov 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 211107A (trigger 658009245.216482 / 211107848).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 183.4, Dec = -61.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 13m, -61d 12'), with a statistical uncertainty of 17.9 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 87.0 degrees.

L. M. Song, F. J. Lu, S. N. Zhang (IHEP), report on behalf of GECAM team:

During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered on-ground by a weak burst, 
GRB 211107A, at 2021-11-07T20:20:40.220 UTC (denoted as T0),
which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN #31052). 

According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 20-500 keV, 
this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration of 5 s.

The GECAM light curve could be found here:

GECAM location is consistent with the Fermi/GBM position within the error.

Please note that all GECAM results here are preliminary. The final analysis
will be published in journal papers or GECAM online catalog.

Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor
(GECAM) mission consists of two small satellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) in
Low Earth Orbit (600 km, 29 deg), launched on Dec 10, 2020 (Beijing Time),
which was funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
