During the INTEGRAL observations of RX J1713.7-3946 (PI R. Terrier), performed between 2010-08-21 03:39 and 2010-08-23 12:03, a new transient source was discovered by the soft gamma-ray imager IBIS/ISGRI (17-300 keV). The source is detected at a significance level of 10 sigma in the 20-40 keV energy band and 5 sigma in the 40-80 keV energy band (exposure time 187 ks). The corresponding averaged X-ray fluxes are 10 mCrab (~7.6e-11 erg/s/cm2) and 9 mCrab (~6.9e-11 erg/s/cm2), respectively.
