Some international flights were delayed Wednesday evening at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport after an unattended bag was found, officials said.

The bag was found at Concourse E and prompted a temporary evacuation.

A Delta spokesman said the bag was reunited with its owner, and the airport said the investigation was over shortly after 6 p.m.

Passengers were advised to check whether their flights were affected before heading to the airport.
