On Monday morning the Swedish Armed Forces said it had failed to locate one of its troops following a routine headcount of staff in the area conducted after gunmen stormed the Le Campement Kangaba resort in Dougourakoro, east of the capital Bamako, on Sunday and killed two people.
However shortly after noon they said the missing serviceman had been found.
“The person has been taken care of and is safe,” said the Armed Forces.
The two victims in Sunday's attack were a woman from Mali and a man from Portugal, both EU employees, Federica Mogherini, the EU's high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, confirmed on Monday.
