A Royal Marine of the British Army was killed in southern Afghanistan on Christmas Eve, the British Ministry of Defence announced on Thursday.
The serviceman, from 42 Commando, died from enemy fire while on a mission in the Nad-e-Ali district near Lashkar Gah in Helmand province, said the ministry in a statement.
Task Force Helmand spokeswoman Commander Paula Rowe said "the death of this Royal Marine is a tragic loss and coming so close to Christmas, this is particularly poignant."
The Royal Marine is the 136th British serviceman to die in Afghanistan since the start of operations in October 2001.
He is also the eleventh Royal Marine to have died in the past two months.
