<p>A British soldier has been killed by a roadside bomb while on operations in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence said.</p>
<p>The soldier, from 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, was attempting to secure an area in the north of Nad-e Ali when he was hit by the Improvised Explosive Device. His family have been told.</p>
<p>Task Force Helmand spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel David Eastman, said: &#8220;Unfortunately I must announce the sad loss of a soldier from 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment.</p>
<p>&#8220;The soldier was part of on-going operations to secure an area in the north of Nad-e Ali when he was hit by an Improvised Explosive Device.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was at the forefront of the fight to bring peace and stability to Afghanistan, putting his life on the line to secure our nation.</p>
<p>&#8220;We salute his bravery and our thoughts are very much with his family and friends at this sad time.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Friday the MoD announced that a soldier from 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment, had been killed in an &#8220;operational accident&#8221;.</p>
<p>He was also serving in the Nad-e Ali district of Helmand.</p>
<p>His death brings the number of troops who have died as a result of accidents, illness, non-combat injuries or who have not yet officially been assigned a cause of death, to 42.</p>
<p>A total of 352 UK military personnel have now died since operations in Afghanistan began in 2001.</p>
