LONDON — Pope Francis fell and injured his arm on Thursday in his residence, the Vatican said.

“This morning, due to a fall at the Santa Marta house, Pope Francis suffered a bruise to his right forearm, without fractures,” the Vatican said in a statement in Italian. “The arm was immobilized as a precautionary measure.”
