British peacekeepers on patrol near a Kosovo village bordering Macedonia struck a land mine and it killed a soldier and injured two others.
It happened near the village of Krivenik, said Austrian Maj Alex Jandesek, a spokesman for NATO-led peacekeepers in Kosovo.
The two soldiers are being treated at the US army's hospital at Camp Bondsteel.
Their condition is not life-threatening, a British defence ministry spokeswoman said.
The names of the soldiers will not be released until all relatives have been told.
The incident marked the second time in less than a week a peacekeeper attached to the NATO-led force died on duty. On Wednesday a Russian soldier was fatally shot in another part of Kosovo near the boundary area with Serbia, Yugoslavia's larger republic.
The village was the scene of a mortar attack on March 29th in which a British journalist and British national Mr Kerem Lawton was killed. Macedonian forces and the rebels have denied responsibility in the attack but peacekeepers are investigating.
Since the shelling the soldiers have uncovered arms caches in the area.
