    An Irish citizen serving with the British army's Royal Irish Regiment has been killed in Afghanistan, the Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed.

    According to reports, the soldier was killed in an explosion while on a routine foot patrol near Sangin, in the south of the country.

    A spokesman for the British Ministry of Defence said it will not be confirming any details, as the soldier's relatives had requested more time to inform the wider family circle.

    'Our thoughts and sympathies are with the friends and family at this most difficult time.'
