LONDON/KABUL (BNO NEWS) -- A British soldier who was killed in southern Afghanistan on Sunday was likely the victim of a friendly fire incident, NATO and the UK Ministry of Defence said on Monday.

The British soldier from the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment died on Sunday after he was shot while patrolling in the Nad-e Ali District of Helmand province, in southern Afghanistan.

"Initial reports suggest that the death was caused as a result of a Friendly Fire incident," the British Ministry of Defence said in a brief statement, adding that U.S. forces may have been responsible.

An investigation has been launched.
