Two more British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan, the defense ministry said Sunday, taking the country's military death toll there past the 200 mark. Prime Minister Gordon Brown called the grim milestone of 200 deaths «deeply tragic news.» The Ministry of Defense said a soldier from 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers was injured in an explosion during a foot patrol near Sangin in Helmand province on Saturday. He later died. The soldier is the 201st British military fatality in Afghanistan. Another soldier, from 2nd Battalion the Royal Welsh, died earlier Saturday at a military hospital in England. He had been wounded in a blast while on vehicle patrol Thursday in Helmand province. Officials said both soldiers' families have been informed, according to a report of The Associated Press.
