Several headstones were knocked over and a dog was let loose at a Jewish cemetery in Tallinn, Estonia.

The incident occurred Saturday or Sunday in the Baltic nation’s capital city, according to a report by the Israel-based Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism.

On Monday, the organisation’s website published pictures from the cemetery showing overturned headstones and canine footprints on earth atop a burial plot.

The pictures and report did not mention any hate graffiti or other indications that the incident was a hate crime.

Estonia, which has very few antisemitic incidents, is home to about 2,500 Jews.
