Another man was injured in the blast. Their next of kin have been informed.
Defence Secretary Des Browne said his thoughts were with the loved ones of the 100 "courageous" personnel.
The injured soldier who survived Sunday's attack is expected to make a good recovery, the MoD said.
Mr Browne expressed his sympathy for the relatives, friends and comrades of the latest casualties.

R.I.P.
I've got an uncle in the Paras, who's been over to Helmand more than once. Always worry I'll see his name when I see stories like this.
