Fu (HUST) report on behalf of a large collaboration:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 250706B detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Palmerio et al., GCN 40989) using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at New South Wales, Australia (SBO). Observations started at 17:41:58 UTC on 2025-07-06, i.e., 35.9 min after the SVOM trigger and a series of frames in the R band were obtained.\n\nAn uncatalogued and varying optical transient is detected within the SVOM/MXT error circle (Palmerio et al., GCN 40989) at  coordinates\n\nR.A. (J2000) = 02:44:55.45\nDec. (J2000) = -50:03:40.32\n\nwith an uncertainty of ~0.5 arcsec. It has R ~ 15.5 mag in the first R-band frame, calibrated with Legacy Survey DR-10 and not corrected for Galactic extinction.\n\nWe thus think this is the optical afterglow of the GRB.",
