U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was released from a military hospital on Tuesday and will attend a Ukraine-related virtual meeting the next day, the Pentagon said, as the Pentagon chief struggles in the wake of prostate cancer surgery.
Austin was released from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon and "resumed his full functions and duties," the Pentagon said in a statement. On advice of doctors, he will work from home before returning to the Pentagon later this week, it said.
It was the second time this year Austin, 70, was hospitalized - this time to address a bladder issue - since a December surgery to treat prostate cancer.
He triggered a political uproar last month after failing to disclose his surgery to the White House as well as a subsequent hospitalization in January to deal with its complications.
