The news comes from Sudan’s two warring parties – who blamed each other for the alleged attack on an embassy convoy leaving Khartoum.
It is not clear who is responsible.
A statement from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary said that a Frenchman was injured as the convoy outside the embassy this morning took fire from army aircraft.
The Sudanese Armed Forces blamed the RSF for the attack, also claiming that one French man had been injured.
France has yet to confirm the incident, and its evacuation from the country is ongoing.
The French foreign ministry confirmed this morning that it had launched a “rapid evacuation operation” that would also assist European citizens from “allied partner countries”
The US had evacuated a number of diplomats on Saturday night.
A US official said fewer than 100 people were evacuated early on Sunday, when three Chinook helicopters landed near the US embassy to collect them.
Fierce violence erupted last week in Khartoum between two opposing armies.
The power struggle between Sudan’s regular army and a paramilitary force called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has seen heavy bombardment in the capital city, with hundreds killed and thousands more injured.
In a call with reporters after the mission, Lt Gen Douglas Sims said more than 100 US troops from the Navy Seals and Army Special Forces flew from Djibouti to Ethiopia and then into Sudan, and were on the ground for less than an hour.
He described it was a “fast and clean” operation.
Mr Biden thanked Djibouti, Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia, saying they had been “critical to the success of our operation“, and he warmly praised the US embassy staff and military.
The US embassy in Khartoum is now closed.
A tweet on its official feed says the US government cannot provide consular services for its citizens in Sudan, nor is it safe enough for the government to evacuate private US citizens.
It was the second evacuation of foreign citizens since violence erupted in Sudan’s capital last week.
On Saturday, more than 150 citizens, diplomats and international officials were evacuated by sea to the Saudi
Arabian port of Jeddah. They were mostly citizens of Gulf countries, as well as Egypt, Pakistan and Canada.
