report on behalf of the SVOM team:
The SVOM/ECLAIRs telescope detected GRB 250607A, also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 40648) and SVOM/GRM (GCN 40651), starting at 2025-06-07T14:00:51 UTC (T0), through an offline targeted search with the event-by-event data downloaded via the X-band ground station.
The burst was detected within several timescales and energy ranges. The best detection is obtained by the image trigger with a signal-to-noise ratio of 7.4 within 4-20 keV over a time window of 10 s starting at T0. This event was not detected onboard because it was too faint and near the edge of the field of view.
The ECLAIRs lightcurve shows a multi-peaked structure lasting around 10 s, with most of the detected photons below 50 keV.
The localization of the source is RA, Dec = 228.408, -19.894 degrees:
RA (J2000) = 15h13m38s
Dec (J2000) = -19d53m38s
with a 90% C.L. radius of 10.8 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature). This localization is broadly consistent with that reported by Fermi/GBM (GCN 40648). The angular separation between the two positions is 15 degrees, which is compatible with the 10.15 degrees statistical uncertainty of the GBM localization.
The time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+10 s in the 5-120 keV is well fitted by a power law with a photon index of 1.6+/-0.2 and a corresponding 4-120 keV fluence of (1.2+/-0.3)e-6 erg/cm^2. The spectral properties measured with SVOM/ECLAIRs are consistent with those reported by SVOM/GRM (GCN 40651).
All quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level.

ECLAIRs was developed jointly by APC, CEA, CNES, and IRAP.

report on behalf of the SVOM team:
SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a long burst GRB 250607A (SVOM trigger reference: sb25060704) at 2025-06-07T14:00:56.000 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM ( Fermi GBM team., GCN #40648).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a single pulse with a T90 of 12.60 +7.20/-5.40 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA = 243.84, Dec = -24.71 , GCN #40648), is located at about 53 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, and outside the ECLAIRs field of view.
With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-5s to T0+5s is best fitted by a power law function. The power law index is -1.82+/-0.08. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.37 +0.15/-0.15)E-06 erg/cm^2.

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB.
"At 14:00:55.64 UT on 07 June 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250607A (trigger 770997660/250607584).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 243.84, Dec = -24.71 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 16h 15m, -24d 42'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 10.15 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 90 degrees.
