Pelosi, 84, was airlifted by the US military to a hospital in Germany after she fractured her hip.

She was initially rushed to local hospital in Luxembourg for an emergency evaluation.

The California Democrat was said to have underwent a “successful” operation, according to her spokesperson Ian Krager.

“Earlier this morning, Speaker Emerita Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement and is well on the mend,” her spokesperson said.

Though Krager did not give specifics about the injury, The New York Times stated that Pelosi fell hard after tripping while descending the marble stairs at the Grand Ducal Palace.

The incident happened while the Democrat was attending an official event on Friday.

She had traveled with a bipartisan group of lawmakers to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the World War Two Battle of the Bulge.

Pelosi’s future events on the trip had to be canceled due to her injury.

The group was set to attend scheduled events to honor veterans on Friday and Saturday.

The Democrat praised doctors and said she received “excellent care”, according to her spokesperson.

“She looks forward to returning home to the US soon,” he added.

Shortly before the incident, Pelosi was seen holding hands with Michael McCaul, a Texas representative from the Republican Party, in a photo taken to commemorate the occasion.

McCaul posted that he was “praying for a speedy recovery” for Pelosi, on social media.

Pelosi served as the Democratic leader in the House for 15 years before stepping down two years ago.

She was re-elected to represent her San Francisco district, just last month, for another two years.

MCCONNELL’S FALL

Former Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, 82, also suffered an accident this week.

The Kentucky senator collapsed at a GOP lunch on Tuesday.

“Leader McConnell tripped following lunch,” his office confirmed after the scare.

“He sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist.

“He has been cleared to resume his schedule.”
