The Landing at Kesang River (29 October 1964) was an amphibious raid conducted by a small force of Indonesian volunteers near the Kesang River, on the border between the Malaysian states of Malacca and Johore on the southwestern part of the Malay Peninsula. The landing was part of the broader Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation, an undeclared war fought between Malaysia and Indonesia during the early 1960s over the creation of an independent Malaysian Federation. The conflict chiefly encompassed parts of northern Borneo, areas that Indonesia sought control in her bid to increase her power and influence in Southeast Asia; however, the landing represented a shift of the operational sphere toward the mainland.

| - The Landing at Kesang River (29 October 1964) was an amphibious raid conducted by a small force of Indonesian volunteers near the Kesang River, on the border between the Malaysian states of Malacca and Johore on the southwestern part of the Malay Peninsula. The landing was part of the broader Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation, an undeclared war fought between Malaysia and Indonesia during the early 1960s over the creation of an independent Malaysian Federation. The conflict chiefly encompassed parts of northern Borneo, areas that Indonesia sought control in her bid to increase her power and influence in Southeast Asia; however, the landing represented a shift of the operational sphere toward the mainland. The landing was part of an extended campaign of similar incursions into Malaysian territory in late 1964 launched by Indonesian President Sukarno to substantiate an aggressively nationalistic speech delivered on 17 August of that year and to establish a base for a potential Communist rebellion. A first landing was dispatched that very night to the Pontian District of Johore, but was quickly halted by Commonwealth security forces. The operation at Kesang River was the sixth attempt at seaborne infiltration. During the night of 29 October, two groups were landed, one on each side of the river. As with all previous attempts, civilians reported the raiders to local police; soon, Commonwealth troops quickly swept the area and captured nearly all of the Indonesian party. Kesang River was not the last attempt by Indonesian forces to establish a foothold in the Malayan wilderness, but continual Allied capture of the raiders began to lessen the security and diplomatic ramifications of such efforts so as to make them far less effective. However, the effort is notable for being the first occasion on which Australian troops fought against their Indonesian neighbors, a development that was the subject of controversy in both nations and helped to escalate tensions between them.

- Pendaratan di Sungai Kesang (29 Oktober 1964) adalah pendaratan amfibi oleh sekelompok relawan Indonesia di dekat di perbatasan negara bagian Malaka dan Johor, Malaysia, Semenanjung Malaya sebelah barat daya. Pendaratan ini terjadi pada masa konfrontasi Indonesia–Malaysia, perang tidak resmi antara Malaysia dan Indonesia pada awal 1960-an yang mempertentangkan pembentukan Federasi Malaysia yang mencakup wilayah utara Kalimantan, wilayah yang hendak dikuasai Indonesia untuk meningkatkan kekuasaan dan pengaruhnya di Asia Tenggara. Pendaratan ini merupakan bagian dari kampanye besar berupa penyusupan ke wilayah Malaysia pada musim gugur dan dingin tahun 1964. Kampanye tersebut dipimpin Presiden Indonesia Sukarno sebagai wujud dari pidato 17 Agustusnya tentang vivere pericoloso dengan tujuan mendirikan pangkalan pemberontakan Komunis. Pendaratan pertama dilancarkan di Distrik Pontian, Johor, tetapi dengan cepat ditanggapi oleh pasukan keamanan Persemkamuran. Operasi di Sungai Kesang adalah operasi keenam dalam rangkaian penyusupan oleh Indonesia. Pada malam hari tanggal 29 Oktober, dua kelompok mendarat, masing-masing di tepi kiri dan kanan sungai. Seperti upaya-upaya pendaratan sebelumnya, warga melaporkan kehadiran para penyusup ke polisi setempat dan tentara Persemakmuran langsung menyisir wilayah tersebut dan menangkap hampir semua penyusup Indonesia. Sungai Kesang bukan satu-satunya upaya pasukan Indonesia untuk menduduki pedalaman Malaya, tetapi penangkapan rutin oleh pasukan Sekutu mulai mengurangi dampak keamanan dan diplomatik dari pendudukan tersebut sehingga semakin tidak efektif. Namun demikian, pendaratan ini merupakan peristiwa pertama yang melibatkan kontak senjata antara tentara Australia dan Indonesia dan menjadi topik kontroversi di kedua negara tersebut serta meningkatkan ketegangan di antara keduanya.
