June 17 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier was killed on Friday when a roadside bomb went off near his patrol, the U.S. military reported on Saturday.

A U.S. Air Force pilot was also killed on Friday when his jet crashed five miles north of Balad Air Base.

Britain's Ministry of Defence reported the death of a soldier in a road accident in Basra on Saturday.

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

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 3,521

Britain 151

Other nations 127

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 65,411 and 71,665*

# = 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.

* = The U.S led military coalition toll includes casualties from Iraq and the surrounding area where troops are stationed.
