(Reuters) - A U.S. soldier was shot and killed in combat operations in Diyala Province in Iraq, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 3,123

Britain 132

Other nations 124

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 56,023 and 61,736*

# = Think-tank estimates for military under Saddam Hussein killed during the 2003 war. No reliable official figures have been issued since new security forces were set up in late 2003.

* = From www.iraqbodycount.net (IBC), run by academics and peace activists, based on reports from at least two media sources. IBC says on its Web site that the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
