<p>Two soldiers from the Royal Logistic Corps have been killed in a fire at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence said.</p>
<p>The incident, which is under investigation, is not believed to have been caused by enemy action and next of kin have been informed.</p>
<p>Camp Bastion spokesman Wing Commander Martin Tinworth said: &#8220;Both soldiers were involved in vital support work for the UK forces who continue to bring hope and stability across Afghanistan. Our heartfelt condolences go out to both soldiers&#8217; family and friends at this deeply sad time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wing Cdr Tinworth said the soldiers had died in a fire and the MoD said more information would be released when known.</p>
<p>It was thought the blaze could have been caused by a boiler rather than a kitchen or weapons-related incident.</p>
<p>It takes the number of UK military personnel who have died since operations in Afghanistan began in 2001 to 356.</p>
<p>Meanwhile a British commander said the tide was turning against the insurgency in Helmand Province, with morale high among troops.</p>
<p>Brigadier James Chiswell, head of UK forces in Helmand, told the BBC: &#8220;There&#8217;s certainly a sense over this winter period that the insurgency is under a lot of pressure, but perhaps more importantly there&#8217;s certainly a sense of growing local confidence to shake off the insurgency, and indeed to put their trust in the state.&#8221;</p>
<p>But he also sounded a note of caution, warning that it was too early to say how successful the past few months had been until summer fighting had taken place.</p>
