After wreaking havoc in China and South Korea, the typhoon smashed tombs in the Far East of Russia.
Trees were blown over onto the gravestones, literally uprooting several tombs and damaging monuments to the dead.
Fences around graves and the fencing surrounding the city's central cemetery were also severely damaged, as shown in footage from local TV.
Staff were urgently working to repair the damage and minimise stress for families of the dead.
But local reports said they did not have sufficient manpower.
The typhoon also destroyed electricity supply networks and flooded streets in the city of 590,000 people.
