   Officials in southern Iraq say three rockets landed near the site of a
   foreign oil field Monday.

   The rockets targeted the Burjesia areaof Basra, Iraq's main southern
   city.

   Authorities say a rocket launcher was found nearby after the attack.

   The strike caused "nosignificantdamage," according to the Associated
   Press.

   There has been no immediate claim of responsibility.

   Reuters reports the site of the attack "has been largely empty in
   recent weeks because of theevacuation of nearly all foreign personnel
