Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been elevated to a high level since the last
message. An X1.1 flare was reported at 4:49 UT today(12/8) from
NOAA 14298. This region is classified as an alpha-type, but there
was a flux emergence in the Northern vicinity since yesterday.
At this time, we will implement a Major Flare Watch campaign on
NOAA 14298. However, there are other regions that are also worth
paying close attention:

NOAA 14299 produced an M2.5 flare at 23:56 UT yesterday around the
Western spot that produced an M8 event on 12/6. The Eastern portion
of NOAA 14299 also produced an M1.8 flare at 06:40 UT today.

Yesterday's target, NOAA 14294 and its Eastern proximity region,
NOAA 14296 are constantly producing flares of low-C to low-M class
in the past 24 hours, including an M2.1 at 00:33 UT and an M1.1 at
12:42 UT today both from NOAA 14294. These active regions maintain
their large size and high magnetic complexity as a whole.

In the next 24 hours, we will focus on NOAA 14298, the source region
of the X class event today, as the target of the Major Flare Watch
campaign. The position of the target in NOAA 14298 on 8-December-2025
at 17:30 UT is: S14W60  (817", -244").
