Rescue workers clear the rubble from a damaged mosque, after a suicide blast in Hangu, Pakistan September 29, 2023.
Pakistani officials have long claimed that India sponsors violent groups in Pakistan - claims India has always denied.
"Civil, military and all other institutions will jointly strike against the elements involved in the Mastung suicide bombing," interior minister Sarfaraz Bugti told media in Balochistan's capital, Quetta.
"RAW is involved in the suicide attack," he added, referring to India's Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) intelligence agency.
The Pakistani Taliban (TTP), responsible for some of the bloodiest attacks in Pakistan since the group's formation in 2007, denied responsibility for Friday's blasts.
