Abstract Our daily monitoring observations of the Galactic center with Swift/XRT (Degenaar et al. 2015, JHEAp, 7, 137) have revealed X-ray activity of a transient source located 1.5' to the south-east of Sgr A*. This object is detected at a count rate of (1.3-2.5)E-2 c/s during two 0.9 ks PC-mode observations performed on April 24-25 (obsID 00092395090-91).
