The long-duration GRB 221121A
(Fermi-GBM detection: Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 32960;
AstroSat-CZTI detection: Gopalakrishnan et al., GCN Circ. 32969)
has been detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 690705294), Konus-Wind,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), AstroSat (CZTI), CALET (CGBM), GECAM-B
(trigger tn221121_063449_fb), Swift (BAT), and BepiColombo (MGNS),
so far, at about 23690 s UT (06:34:50).
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
 ---------------------------------------------
  RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
 ---------------------------------------------
 Center:
  163.104 (10h 52m 25s) +69.356 (+69d 21' 22")
 Corners:
  164.660 (10h 58m 38s) +69.887 (+69d 53' 12")
  164.681 (10h 58m 43s) +70.133 (+70d 08' 00")
  161.617 (10h 46m 28s) +68.809 (+68d 48' 31")
  161.623 (10h 46m 30s) +68.558 (+68d 33' 29")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 952 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 1.9 deg (the minimum one is 9 arcmin).
The Sun distance was about 103 deg.

This localization may be improved.

The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of,
the Fermi-GBM final localization (GCN Circ. 32960).

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