Rep. Nancy Pelosi was taken to a hospital in Luxembourg after she “suffered an injury while on official duty,” a spokesman said.

Pelosi, 84, continues to work, said spokesman Ian Krager, and is currently receiving “excellent” treatment from doctors and medical professionals.

“While traveling with a bipartisan congressional delegation to Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury while on official duty and was hospitalized for evaluation,” Krager said.

Pelosi is “currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals. “She continues to work and regrets that she will not be able to attend the remaining CODEL events to honor the courage of our soldiers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our country’s history,” Krager said, adding that Pelosi “looks forward to it I’m looking forward to returning home to the USA soon.”

The injury Pelosi suffered came just days after longtime Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell tripped and fell in the U.S. Capitol, spraining his wrist and cutting his face.

McConnell suffered a “minor cut to his face” and has been “cleared to continue his schedule,” a spokesman for the 82-year-old Kentucky Republican said in a statement Tuesday.
