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

"At 07:05:40.09 UT on 18 July 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250718B (trigger 774515145/250718296) which was initially named GRB 250718A (GCN 41117).

The updated on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 213.5, Dec = 1.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 14h 14m, 01d 40'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 11.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 87 degrees.
