Abstract During the observations performed in the direction of the Galactic Bulge (Atel #438), INTEGRAL detected hard X-ray emission from the direction of the Globular Clusters NGC 6440 and Terzan 6. The source undergoing an outburst in NGC 6440 has been recently reported to be likely the neutron star low mass X-ray binary SAX J1748.9-2021 (Atel #10821, #10826, #10827).
