A man was injured in a lightning strike at sea near the capital Malé at 12:15pm today. He suffered injuries to his head and ears and is receiving treatment at the ADK hospital.
The man was aboard a speedboat traveling from Malé to the airport island, Hulhulé.
Another lightning strike earlier in the morning had cut off electricity at the State Trading Organization’s head offices in Malé.
Muslih Maseeh, STO’s assistant general manager, said no staff was injured. A team of experts from the power plant are checking to see if the eight-floor building had suffered any damage.
