Pope Leo XIV is gradually recovering after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumour in his lung. The Vatican head underwent the procedure on Tuesday and reportedly began walking and performing breathing exercises by Wednesday. Doctors also confirmed that he was following a regular diet. According to the medical team, X-rays and blood test results indicate that his recovery following the surgery is progressing smoothly.

The 71-year-old pontiff has been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, a common type of lung cancer.

Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed happiness over the successful surgery and wished Pope Leo XIV a speedy and complete recovery.
