(Updates toll)

Nov 7 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier died on Monday night from wounds sustained in a roadside bomb attack on his vehicle in northwest Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

Earlier Britain's Ministry of Defence said that a British soldier was killed on Monday during an attack on an army base in the southern Iraqi city of Basra.

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 2,837

Britain 121

Other nations 119

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 45,608 and 50,582*

# = 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.
