V. Connaughton, M. S. Briggs, C. Meegan, V. Pelassa, and A. Goldstein, 
on behalf of the Fermi GBM team, report:

The long-duration GRB 140721A (Yu, GCN Circ. 16617Loading...
 
 ) has been observed by 
Konus-Wind, Fermi(GBM trigger 427622605), MESSENGER (GRNS), AGILE (MCAL) 
and INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), so far, at about 29002 s UT (08:03:22).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:
  ---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
   177.645 (11h 50m 35s) -37.735 (-37d 44' 06")
  Corners:
   181.410 (12h 05m 38s) -30.317 (-30d 19' 01")
   172.431 (11h 29m 43s) -44.878 (-44d 52' 41")
   174.251 (11h 37m 00s) -43.513 (-43d 30' 47")
   183.534 (12h 14m 08s) -27.322 (-27d 19' 20")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 8.7 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 19.7 deg (the minimum one is 0.52 deg).

This box may be improved.

Details of the Konus-Wind observation will be given in a forthcoming GCN
Circular.
