On 29 September 2023, a suicide bombing occurred in the Mastung District of Balochistan, Pakistan during the Eid Milad-ul-Nabi procession, which commemorates the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad.

Various international and domestic leaders, including UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Pakistani Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar, and President Arif Alvi, issued statements condemning the act.

[9] Pakistani Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar condemned the blast and expressed condolences for the victims.

Sarfraz Bugti, the interior minister, called it a "heinous act" and claimed that India's foreign intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing, was involved in the recent terror attacks in Balochistan.
