on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:

Since the last KW GCN on the ongoing SGR 1935+2154 activity
(Ridnaia et al., GCN 31325) the instrument triggered on
thirteen bright bursts from the source.

The following is a list of the Konus-Wind triggers.

12  20220115  70649.225 s UT (19:37:29.225)
13  20220116  50974.968 s UT (14:09:34.968)
---------------------------------------------
The bursts have durations (~0.2-0.9 s),
energy fluences (0.9-5.9)x10^-6 erg/cm2,
and spectral hardness (Ep ~ 20-45 keV)
typical of bright short bursts from SGR 1935+2154
observed by KW previously.

The detailed analysis of these bursts will be presented
in the dedicated paper.
