The OGLE-IV Transient Search (Wyrzykowski et al. ATEL #4495, Kozlowski et al. 2013) resumes
its operation after the seasonal break in the Magellanic Clouds observations and
reports the discovery of four new on-going transient candidates.
The transients appeared near or on top of apparent galaxies, hence are most likely to be supernovae.
Light curves of three of them show they are clearly on the rise or near the peak
and the fourth is already declining.
