The Ceylon Electricity Board Employee, who sustained injuries during last night's LTTE air attack at Kelani-Tisssa Power Station in Colombo was found dead on admission to the Colombo General Hospital.

But defence officials said the LTTE has not been able to much damage as a result of their air attack at the power station and at Thalladi Amry camp in Mannar.

CEB officials said it was only a cooler connected to the gas turbine power generator which caught fire, which was immediately extinguished by the Colombo fire brigade who arrived at the site instantly. No major damages were caused due to the Thalladi Army camp and only one soldier has sustained injuries in the incident.
