(CNN) — An American veteran and father of five from Rexburg, Idaho, died on Tuesday after sustaining injuries fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in the east of the country, his sister told CNN. Dane Partridge, 34, had been fighting in Ukraine since the end of April, his sister Jenny Corry said. Partridge was a volunteer fighting alongside Ukrainian forces, Corry said. Once he arrived in Ukraine, he joined the international legion of foreign fighters, a group of volunteers from countries around the world fighting alongside Ukrainians, Corry said. Four other Americans are known to have been killed in the country fighting alongside Ukrainian forces during the ongoing conflict with Russia.
