<p>A British soldier died from gunshot wounds during an operation in southern Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence has said.</p>
<p>The soldier, from the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, was shot during an operation against insurgents in the Nad-e Ali District of Helmand Province.</p>
<p>Spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Lieutenant Colonel David Eastman, said: &#8220;Regrettably I must announce the death of a soldier from 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment .</p>
<p>&#8220;The soldier was part of an operation aiming to increase security in the Nad-e Ali District of Helmand Province when he was shot and subsequently died of his wounds.</p>
<p>&#8220;He has made the ultimate sacrifice protecting the people of Nad-e Ali from insurgent intimidation and defending his country from the threat of terrorism; no more could be asked of any soldier. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.&#8221;</p>
<p>His family have been informed.</p>
<p>A total of 346 UK military personnel have died since operations in Afghanistan began in 2001.</p>
