A. A. Volnova (IKI), V. V. Rumyantsev (CrAO), A. S. Pozanenko (IKI), N. S. Pankov (IKI) report on behalf of IKI GRB-FuN collaboration:

We observed the FXT localization of GRB 251122A/EP251122a (Wang et al., GCN 42779; Lin et al., GCN 42800; Yin et al., GCN 42808; Wang et al., GCN 42809) with the ZTSH telescope of CrAO starting on 2025-11-11 (UT) 21:37:17 UT and taking several 120s exposures in R-band. The optical counterpart (Cheng et al., GCN 42803; Li et al., GCN 42806; Sun et al., GCN 42807; Ma et al., GCN 42811; Gupta et al., GCN 42813; Busmann et al., GCN 42814) is detected in the stacked frame. Preliminary photometry is the following:
