Soldiers patrolling in Afghanistan October marked the 10th anniversary of UK operations in Afghanistan

A British soldier who was based at Holywood, County Down, has been shot dead in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence has said.

The soldier, from the 2nd Battalion the Mercian Regiment, was killed on Thursday in Nahr-e Saraj District, Helmand Province.

He had been taking part in a patrol when it was attacked by insurgents.

The soldier's identity has not yet been disclosed but his next of kin have been informed.

His death takes the total number of service personnel killed in Afghanistan since 2001 to 384.

A spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Lt Col Gordon Mackenzie, said: "The death of this brave soldier is a tragedy which has affected us all.

"His loss will be deeply felt by his family, friends and loved ones, and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this very difficult time."
