MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, 
Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in 
Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed 
to the  GRB181010.25 19 sec after notice time and 42 sec after trigger 
time at 2018-10-10 05:56:33 UT. On our first (60s coadd exposure) coadd 
set we  found 1 optical transient within SWIFT error-box (ra=52.55 
dec=-23.0344 r=0.05) brighter than 18.24.
