Oct 23 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier died on Sunday night when the vehicle he was riding in was hit by a roadside bomb southeast of the capital, the military said on Monday.

In Anbar Province, a U.S. Marine died in combat on Saturday, the U.S. military said on Monday.

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 2,800

Britain 119

Other nations 119

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 44,661 and 49,610*

# = 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, run by academics and peace activists, based on reports from at least two media sources. The IBC says on its Web site the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
