    UK soldier dies in Helmand blast

    A British soldier has been killed in an explosion in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence has said.
    A spokesman said the soldier's next of kin had been informed.
    News of the death came shortly after British troops in Helmand held a service at Camp Bastion to mark Remembrance Sunday.
    The death brings the total number of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan since 2001 to 231.
