(CNN) ISIS has claimed responsibility for an assault on a Baghdad gas plant Sunday, the latest in a series of deadly attacks committed by the Sunni terror group that have claimed more than 100 lives in recent days.

Baghdad Governor Ali al-Tamimi said 10 people, including seven police officers and three guards, were killed during the assault on the facility in the Taji area, north of Iraq's capital, at 5 a.m. local time Sunday.

Police officials said the attack began with a suicide car bomb at the entrance of the plant, then a second suicide bomber detonated an explosive inside the facility.

Six ISIS militants then tried to storm inside, but security forces were able to repel them, police said. Two military helicopters were deployed from Taji military base to fight the militants, police said.
