The Vatican press office announced in a statement that Pope Francis has suffered several fractures and bruises after falling this morning while at the Santa Marta residence.
The Holy Father is reported to have injured his right forearm, which doctors have placed in a cast as a precaution.
This is the second incident in just one month, after on December 7, 2024, Pope Francis hit his chin on his bedside table, which caused a large hematoma on his face.
However, Francis maintained his agenda, holding the various sessions as scheduled. (A2 Televizion)
