Gupta et al., GCN 42343) errorbox 105 sec after notice time and 141 sec after trigger time at 2025-10-18 03:14:24 UT, with upper limit up to 18.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 68 deg. The sun altitude is -46.5 deg. The galactic latitude b = -16 deg., longitude l = 359 deg. Real time updated cover map and OT discovered available here: https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/observ.php?id=3017251 We obtain a following upper limits.
