Pope Francis has fallen over and injured his right arm but did not suffer any broken bones, the Vatican said.
In a statement, the Holy See press office said that "due to a fall Thursday morning in the Casa Santa Marta, the pope’s residence, the 88-year-old pontiff “suffered a contusion to his right forearm, without fracture.”
The statement added that his arm has been “immobilized as a precautionary measure.”
Official pictures showed the pope wearing a cloth sling as he held meetings.
Despite the fall, Francis held five meetings on Thursday according to the Vatican.
In early December, he appeared with a large bruise on his chin after falling and hitting his bedside table during the night.
