TEL AVIV— Mark Shindel and his Israeli friends arrived at the music festival about 1 a.m. and drank and danced until sunrise. Shindel’s high-school pal Orel Dorf shouted over the music how great it was to share so many happy times. Last year, they traveled to Mexico and Miami, where they had rented Jet Skis and partied at dance clubs on a night that ended with takeout burgers at 6 a.m.

DNIPRO, Ukraine—The number of Ukrainians being killed by Russian invaders has stretched resources at Morgue No. All but two of a dozen body bags lay on the floor at the rear entrance one recent morning because there weren’t enough gurneys. Forensic pathologist Vitaliy Levchenko picked his way through them, hands resting in the pockets of his white lab coat. Levchenko, 36 years old, found a shortcut at the start of the war when morgues were overwhelmed. He started snapping photos of dead soldiers’ front teeth if they were intact.

ANTAKYA, Turkey—Two weeks after earthquakes devastated swaths of Turkey, the government and aid groups are rushing to bolster the area’s heavily damaged health system, which is struggling to treat tens of thousands of injured and those who require routine care. The death toll from the Feb. 6 quakes has risen to more than 48,200—about 42,300 in Turkey and at least 5,900 in Syria. In Turkey, some 108,000 were injured and at least two million lost their homes, authorities and experts estimate. Health professionals are also warning of a heightened risk of infectious disease outbreaks in the disaster zone.

ADIYAMAN, Turkey—The Cypriot high school volleyball team were sleeping on the first and second floors of the Isias hotel the night after the girls team won their first match at a regional tournament in eastern Turkey when the first earthquake struck. The 7.8-magnitude tremor shook the earth beneath them, making the front of the hotel collapse. When the second, 7.5-magnitude quake hit, the building crumbled to dust, leaving 25 schoolchildren, age 12 to 14, and 10 adults accompanying them, eventually among the dead.

CHASIV YAR, Ukraine—Ukrainian soldiers have dug trenches and reinforced them with logs in the snow-covered hills here as part of a freshly strengthened defensive line west of the country’s deadliest battlefield. About 5 miles away, Russian forces are pressing ahead with a grinding advance on the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut in a monthslong battle that has chewed up hundreds of soldiers.

BAKHMUT, Ukraine—Ukrainian artillery fire mangled the platoon of Russian soldiers advancing on this besieged city. Guided by a live video feed from an aerial drone, the guns cut down the first group of 20, a reconnaissance officer recalled. Then a further group of 20 were knocked out, followed by 10 more. Later that same day in January, another 20 Russian soldiers trudged forward along the same path and managed to dig in at a new position in a wood a little closer to Bakhmut.

ORIKHIV, Ukraine—Ukraine last summer stunned Russian troops with precision strikes from U.S.-supplied Himars mobile rocket launchers. Now an even more potent rocket system holds the potential to re-energize Kyiv’s troops. U.S. officials are expected Friday to say they will give Ukraine new Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs, precision-guided, 250-pound explosives that are strapped to rockets and can be fired from a Himars or another launcher. The armament, which has never been deployed and is only at the start of production, has a range of roughly 94 miles, or around twice the range of current Himars shells.

BAKHMUT, Ukraine—In this besieged city, the last remaining civilians huddle in dank basements and behind sandbagged windows at food-and-shelter hubs. They venture out on bicycles or on foot only for food or other essentials. Downtown streets are empty save for soldiers running from door to door seeking cover, and stray dogs looking for food. This is Bakhmut, Russia’s main immediate military target and one of the most dangerous places on earth. A city of some 80,000 before the war, known for its sparkling-wine factory, it is now home to barely a few thousand who face a daily struggle to survive, as Russian forces press forward house by house and bombard it with artillery.

☆ Ukrainian Commanders on Front Lines Look to Western Tanks for Breakthrough

TORSKE, Ukraine—Late last year, a Ukrainian counteroffensive stalled here in the country’s northeast as Russia reinforced its troops with thousands of newly mobilized recruits and paramilitary fighters. Since then, the battle lines have been largely static on the outskirts of Kreminna, a strategic city in the Luhansk region. Ukrainian officials and soldiers say they hope an infusion of armored vehicles from Western allies will give them the firepower they need to break the deadlock.

LVIV, Ukraine—From his base at a century-old villa here, computer programmer Dmytro Zhlutenko fielded a call from the front line with an urgent request. A unit had lost one of the aerial drones it uses to track Russian troops and help artillery target them. Could he send a fresh one?

SULYHIVKA, Ukraine—The messages arriving on Viktor Yatsunyk’s phone were vague and worrisome. Somewhere nearby, Ukrainian soldiers had triggered a land mine and lay dead or injured. The onetime carpenter and his teammates, who included a store-sign maker, a boxing enthusiast and a computer-science student, converged on a map reference in a beat-up crossover and a pickup truck.

KYIV—Outside the Giraffe shopping mall on the western edge of Ukraine’s capital, a group of locals prepared to meet the Russian armored column thundering their way. It was late February, and the Russians, from an elite airborne unit, were riding atop their vehicles, as if expecting a warm greeting. One wore a Cossack woolen hat instead of a helmet. Another hadn’t loaded his rifle.

MOTYZHYN, Ukraine—Mayor Olha Sukhenko took care of her village like a family for more than a decade, locals say, sprucing up public buildings, organizing concerts and settling disputes. When the Russian army withdrew last week after a monthlong occupation, her neighbors found Ms. Sukhenko’s lifeless body in a shallow grave, her hands bound. Her husband and son lay next to her, dead.
