Report on behalf of the SVOM team:
SVOM/GRM was triggered on-ground by EP251202a/GRB 251202A at 2025-12-02T01:51:02.000 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN #42933 and #42957), Einstein Probe (Einstein Probe (EP) team, GCN #42934, #42937 and #42946), GOTO (GOTO collaboration, GCN #42947) and Insight-HXMT (Insight-HXMT team, GCN #42970).
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 16 +8/-4 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Swift-XRT (RA = 122.11512, Dec = 40.61228, GCN #42943), is located at about 134 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is outside the ECLAIRs field of view. ECLAIRs was not collecting data at the time of this burst.
The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
