We report the spectroscopic classification of the following transients discovered by Zwicky Transient Facility (https://www.ztf.caltech.edu/; Kulkarni et al. 2018, ATel #11266), the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae ASAS-SN (see Shappee et al. 2014, ApJ, 788, 48 and http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~assassin/index.shtml ), and by the ATLAS survey, see Smith et al. (2020, PASP, arXiv:2003.09052). The observations were performed with the Goodman spectrograph mounted on the SOAR telescope at Cerro Pachon on the night of June 21, 2021. We used SNID (Blondin and Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) cross-correlation software to classify the SN candidates spectra.
