A soldier has died after being found unconscious and injured in Brecon town centre, the MoD has confirmed.
Sky News understands that early indications show his death is not related to terrorism and Sky's Defence Correspondent Alistair Bunkall said the soldier had not been in uniform when he died.
Police say the man, who has not yet been named, was found on Lion Street at around 1am on Sunday morning.
He was taken to hospital by ambulance but died later.
His death is being treated as unexplained.
Kirsty Williams, the Liberal Democrat Assembly Member for Brecon and Radnorshire, described the incident as "shocking".
She tweeted: "Clearly very shocking incident unfolding in Brecon town centre this morning. Will be keeping in touch with local police."
Police are appealing for anyone with information or anyone who was in the vicinity of Lion Street, Bethel Square, Tredegar Street and High Street between 12.30am and 1.30am to contact them by phoning 101.
An Army spokesman said: "We are aware of an incident involving the death of a soldier in Brecon.
"Dyfed-Powys Police are investigating and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
