A British soldier has died in a road crash in Afghanistan.
The Ministry of Defence said the member of the Royal Logistics Corps was killed yesterday in Camp Souter in the capital, Kabul.
"The next of kin have been informed, and they have requested a period of time to inform friends and family before his name is made public. We would ask the media to respect their wishes," the MoD said.
"No other soldiers or civilians were injured and there was no insurgent involvement."
The death of the soldier brings the toll of servicemen who have died in Afghanistan over the last two months to 11.
Earlier this week Private Andrew Barrie Cutts, of 13 Air Assault Support Regiment, The Royal Logistics Corps, died after taking part in the biggest offensive operation yet mounted by UK forces against the Taliban.
He was among 500 British troops involved in Operation Snakebite to disrupt the Taliban's command and control in the notorious Sangin valley in the southern Helmand province.
The 19-year-old, from Blidworth, near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, died after elements of the 3 Para Battle Group, which carried out the offensive, came under "significant fire" from Taliban forces.
His twin brother, who is also serving in the Army, returned to be with his family, the MoD confirmed.
Earlier yesterday, Foreign Office minister Kim Howells admitted there was "no question" that drug production in Afghanistan had risen over the past year, despite the efforts of British troops.
Mr Howells said the "lawless" situation in provinces such as Helmand, which has seen a Taliban resurgence, was to blame for the increase in opium farming.
