US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fell and broke her elbow yesterday but will resume her full duties soon as the Obama administration's top diplomat, a State Department spokesman said.
Clinton will have surgery to repair her elbow in the next week, her chief of staff Cheryl Mills said in a statement.
"On the way to the White House late this afternoon, Secretary Clinton fell and suffered a right elbow fracture. She was treated at The George Washington University Hospital before heading home," Mills said.
