A Taiwanese soldier who went missing last week has been located in the Chinese city of Xiamen, according to a Taiwanese official who said the government is working to have him returned.

The 26-year-old soldier, identified only by his family name Chen, was reported missing after being absent from roll call on March 9 on Erdan Island, part of the Taiwan-controlled Kinmen chain located near the Chinese city of Xiamen. Chen’s family was contacted following his disappearance and the Kinmen Defense Command began a search operation.
