A Royal Marine has been killed in a blast in Sangin in southern Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence said today.
The marine, from 40 Commando, died while on a joint foot patrol with Afghan soldiers yesterday evening. His family have been told.
He was the 101st member of UK forces killed in the deadly Sangin area of Helmand Province, which Britain will hand over to the US Marines at the end of this year.
