King Harald of Norway, Europe's oldest monarch, underwent a successful procedure to implant a temporary pacemaker at Hospital Sultanah Maliha in Langkawi, Malaysia. The 87-year-old monarch was being treated for an infection during a private vacation on the resort island.
The Royal House of Norway confirmed that the pacemaker was necessary due to a low heart rate. Following the operation, King Harald is expected to be transported back to Norway in the coming days for further rest and recovery.
