A bright short burst has been detected by IBAS in the IBIS/ISGRI data at
14:34:24 UT of April 28 (Alert Packet n. 8611), and promptly identified as
originating from the currently active SGR 1935+2154 (GCN #27667, #27666,
#27665, #27664, #27663, #27662, #27661, #27659, #27657, #27631, ATel
#13682, #13679, #13678, #13675).  Note that the above time is not corrected
for the light-travel but it is consistent with  the one of the radio  burst
from the same source reported in ATel #13681, #13684.

The burst was at an off-axis angle of 8.1 degrees, in the field of view of
the IBIS and SPI instruments, but outside those of JEM-X and OMC.

A preliminary analysis indicates that the burst had a duration of about 0.3
s,  a fluence of 3.9+/-0.2e-5 in the 25-80 keV range  and a peak flux of
1.2+/-0.1 e-6 erg/cm2/s on 10 ms timescale.

The burst  was also marginally detected in the SPI-ACS  with S/N=4.65 on a
 0.65s time scale. The ACS observation independently gives a  FAP at the
level of 0.0019 (2.9 sigma).

We note that another weaker burst from SGR 1935+2154, lasting about 0.1 s
was  detected  by IBAS at 09:51:05 UT of April 28 (Weak Alert Packet n.
8610).
