A member of the United Kingdom Armed Forces was killed in a "tragic accident" in Ukraine while overseeing a weapons test away from the frontline, the British Ministry of Defense announced on Tuesday.
"It is with deep regret that we have to announce that a member of the UK Armed Forces has died in Ukraine this morning," the Ministry of Defence said.
This is the first time a member of the British military has been killed in Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion by Russia in February 2022, she added.
"He was injured in a tragic accident while observing Ukrainian forces testing a new defensive weapon, far from the front lines," it said.
"My deepest condolences to the family of the member of our Armed Forces who sadly lost his life today," British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement.
"His service and sacrifice will never be forgotten," he added.
The United Kingdom has previously said that a "small number" of British troops are in Ukraine to support Ukrainian forces.
A former British soldier who was volunteering in the Ukrainian army was killed away from the front line in 2023.
A British coroner's inquest last year concluded that he was killed by a "fellow fighter", also a volunteer in the Ukrainian forces./ REL
