(Updates with new tolls)

Aug 12 (Reuters) - A roadside bomb killed three soldiers in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, a U.S. military statement said.

The soldiers were conducting combat operations in Khogiani district of Nangarhar province when their vehicle was hit. A civilian interpreter also was killed, the statement said.

Earlier, Britain's Defence Ministry said a British soldier was killed and five were wounded in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province on Saturday.

This raises the British death toll in Afghanistan to 70, and the number of foreign troops killed in action there in 2007 to 99.

Here are the figures for foreign military deaths in Afghanistan since the Taliban government was toppled in 2001:

NATO/U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:
