Two teens admitted to vandalizing gravestones in a Jewish cemetery in southern Hungary.

The boys, aged 15 and 16, painted swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti on the gravestones. They also admitted Tuesday to similar attacks last month on a Holocaust memorial and a store owned by Chinese immigrants, The Associated Press reported.

The attack on the cemetery in Kaposvar, 120 miles southwest of Budapest, was the fourth in the last year. No one has been arrested in any of the attacks.

Vandalism also was reported in a nearby Soviet military cemetery and a Catholic cemetery, according to the AP.
