Abstract We report the result of a long Swift observation of the galactic center flaring source (atel #5006, #5008, #5011, #5013, #5014) undertaken last night (2013-04-25; obsid: 00554491001; Exptime: 11.2 ks). Continued elevated X-ray emission consistent with the position of Sgr A* is detected, where a count rate of 0.095+/-0.003 ct/s is measured from a 10" radius region centred on the radio position of Sgr A*.
