Domestic flights were set to resume in Afghanistan on Friday, the country's flag carrier Ariana Afghan Airlines said.

A hijack alert on a Kandahar-bound flight triggered alarm at the Delhi airport on Saturday after the pilot "mistakenly" pressed the 'hijack button' when it was taxiing for take-off, officials said.
