Another Australian soldier has been killed in Afghanistan.
Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston made the announcement at a specially-convened press conference at 4.30pm this afternoon.
Private Luke Worsley, a 26-year-old commando with 4RAR regiment, died during an encounter with the Taliban.
"He was a greatly respected soldier and will be dearly missed," Air Marshal Houston said.
"He was one of our finest.
"Our thoughts go out to the family, we deeply regret the passing of Private Worsley and we pass on our condolences to his friends, his family and his company."
Private Worsley was killed 10km east of Tarin Kowt in Oruzgan province during an attack on a Taliban bomb-making facility.
It is the third fatality suffered by Australian Defence Force personnel in the Middle East this year, following the deaths of Trooper David Pearce and SAS Sergeant Matthew Locke.
