The soldier's next of kin have been informed.

The latest death takes the number of British service personnel who have died in Afghanistan since the start of operations in October 2001 to 270, and the 25^th this year.

Spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Lieutenant Colonel David Wakefield, said:

"It is with deep sadness I have to inform you that a British soldier from 3 RIFLES lost his life this morning as a result of small arms fire.

"He was on a deliberate operation against insurgents to the south of Sangin District Centre, near Patrol Base Suffolk, when he was shot.

"He died boldly taking the fight to the enemy and will not be forgotten."
