BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says a roadside bomb has killed a U.S. soldier in Iraq.

A statement says the explosion occurred at about 11 a.m. Sunday in eastern Baghdad.

The military has not given more details pending notification of the soldier’s relatives.

At least 4,228 members of the U.S. military have died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
