Three rockets hit near a Saudi residential compound near border with Iraq on Monday.

Three rockets hit near a Saudi residential compound near border with Iraq on Monday.

The rockets landed near the compound in the northern Arar city, the official SPA news agency reported.

No casualties were reported.

The attack came days after Iraq had denied reports that it had withdrawn troops from border with Saudi Arabia.

Violent insurgence in Iraq is being led by the so-called 'Islamic State of Iraq and Levant' (also dubbed as ISIL), a terrorist group with previous links to Al-Qaeda organization.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has previously accused Riyadh of "sponsoring terrorism" in the country.

Iraq entered a new phase of confrontation with militant groups last month when ISIL militiamen advanced into the northern Nineveh and Saladin provinces.

Thousands of Iraqi residents have fled their homes in the two provinces since the violence intensified earlier this month.

The crisis – which remains ongoing – has drawn international attention, with neighboring Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan all on high alert fearing the  possible infiltration of ISIL's terrorism to their borders.
