Nov 12 (Reuters) - One U.S. soldier was killed in an explosion while conducting operations in Diyala province on Friday, the U.S. military said.

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 3,860

Britain 171

Other nations 134

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 76,585 and 83,435*

# = 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. The IBC says on its Web site 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. (Writing by David Cutler, London Editorial Reference Unit)

U.S. air force fighter plane A-10 "Warthog" fires shells towards insurgents, as seen from the Combat Outpost Cahill, a small U.S. military camp southeast of Baghdad, November 6, 2007. It's a typical confrontation in the Iraq war -- insurgents with low-tech weaponry emerging from hiding to launch pinprick attacks, and then trying to slip back into the shadows before the U.S. military can hit back with vastly superior firepower.
