Y. Terada, T. Murakami, and K. Makishima, on behalf of the Suzaku WAM
team, report:

A short-duration, hard spectrum GRB 121127A was observed by Konus-Wind, 
Fermi (GBM: trigger 375746163), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), MESSENGER (GRNS), 
Swift (BAT), Mars Odyssey (HEND), and Suzaku (WAM) at about 78960 s UT 
(21:56:00).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:
  ---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
   176.438 (11h 45m 45s) -52.414 (-52d 24' 52")
  Corners:
   176.369 (11h 45m 29s) -52.649 (-52d 38' 58")
   176.255 (11h 45m 01s) -52.512 (-52d 30' 44")
   176.507 (11h 46m 02s) -52.179 (-52d 10' 45")
   176.620 (11h 46m 29s) -52.316 (-52d 18' 59")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 158 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 29 arcmin (the minimum one is 9 arcmin; the minimum annulus 
width is 3.6 arcmin).

This box can be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
