MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 200421.02 (trigger No 60770138,05h 57m 01.20s , +07d 54m 25.2s, R=0.61) errorbox  45894 sec after notice time and 45943 sec after trigger time at 2020-04-21 13:21:07 UT, with upper limit up to  15.6 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 68 deg. The sun  altitude  is -10.4 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -8 deg., longitude l = 200 deg.
