We observed the field of the  GRB 190613A (Ambrosi et al., GCN  24798) 
with RC-36  telescope of Kitab Observatory  and AS-32 of Abastumani 
observatory . We do not detect the optical afterglow (Ambrosi et al., GCN 
24798; Zheng et al., GCN  24801;  Lipunov et al., GCN  24803).  Preliminary 
photometry of the field is following.
