This rebel building was damaged on Thursday, the Tigers say.
Large numbers of civilians are reported to be fleeing the northern Sri Lankan town of Kilinochchi in the face of more air force attacks.
Kilinochchi is the administrative headquarters of Tamil Tiger rebels fighting for a separate Tamil state.
On Friday the air force targeted the Tigers' police HQ, reports say.
Aid agencies estimate about 200,000 people have been displaced by the fighting. The government says it is on the verge of defeating the Tigers. more
