During the observations of the Galactic bulge program (see ATel #438), performed from 2010 September 25 at 20:51:11 to 2010 September 26 at 00:32:57, INTEGRAL detected hard X-ray emission from a position consistent with that of the newly discovered transient MAXI J1659-152 (GCN #11299, GCN #11296, and ATel #2873), also detected in the radio band (ATel #2874) at 4.8 GHz. The source is detected at 17 sigma in the IBIS/ISGRI mosaic image (20-40 keV energy band), and the best determined source coordinates are RA=254.746 DEC=-15.250 (J2000).
