<p>A bomb disposal expert has been killed in an explosion in southern Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence said.</p>
<p>The soldier, from 23 Pioneer Regiment, The Royal Logistic Corps, was serving with the Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Task Force and clearing a road in Lashkar Gah district, Helmand province, when he was caught in the blast.</p>
<p>The soldier&#8217;s family has been informed of his death.</p>
<p>Spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Lieutenant Colonel David Eastman, said: &#8220;Sadly, I must report the death of a soldier from 23 Pioneer Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps, working with the Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Task Force, (on Tuesday) afternoon.</p>
<p>&#8220;The soldier was participating in an operation to clear an area north of Lashkar Gah, when an improvised explosive device was initiated.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a member of the Counter-IED Task Force he was at the very forefront of the fight against terrorism and gave his all to make a better, more secure life for the people of Afghanistan and our own nation.</p>
<p>&#8220;His loss will be felt deeply by all who knew him, and our thoughts are very much with his family and friends at this sad time.&#8221;</p>
<p>A total of 348 UK military personnel have died since operations in Afghanistan began in 2001.</p>
