(CNN)ISIS launched a series of attacks Monday on Iraqi military interests, claiming its suicide bombers were responsible for the deaths of dozens of soldiers from Anbar province to northern Iraq. In some of the attacks, the Iraqi military said its troops responded and managed to kill ISIS militants.
Several of the terrorist attacks took place near the town of Albaghdadi, about 10 miles north of the large al-Asad military base in Anbar province.
According to ISIS, five suicide vehicle bombers attacked an Iraqi military barracks near the town, killing more than 60 Iraqi soldiers. ISIS named the five attackers, and the names indicated three of them were foreign: from France, Jordan and Turkey.

The Iraqi Joint Operations Command told CNN that the Iraqi army, backed by the Iraqi air force, repulsed an attempted ISIS attack in eastern Albaghdadi town, destroying eight suicide car bombs and two gun trucks, and killing more than 30 militants.
More attacks took place along the road connecting Haditha to Baiji. ISIS said four of its militants carried out suicide vehicle bombings against 25 barracks belonging to the Iraqi military and popular mobilization units, which are predominantly Shiite militias allied with the government.
