“Russian troops are struggling to hold their positions in Semenovka and Berdychi due to the high risk of attack by Ukrainian drones. Russian forces appear to have stepped up their efforts west of Bakhmut to capture Chasov Yar,” a report by the Washington-based Institute for the study of war (ISW).
On April 5, the positional battles on the Kupyansk-Svatovo-Kremennaya line continued.
A Russian military blogger has confirmed information about the advance of Russian troops to the outskirts of Terni (west of Kremennaya). ISW earlier reported Russian forces located about 700 meters from the settlement.
Positional battles continue:

Ukrainian military observer Konstantin Mashovets said that units of the Russian motorized rifle brigade, with the support of another unit of the Airborne Forces, had advanced to the area northeast of Bakhmut and were trying to advance into the area.
“Russian forces appear to have stepped up their efforts west of Bakhmut to capture Chasovo Yar. On April 5, Russian bloggers reported that Russian troops had advanced to and near the eastern edge of the Canal district (the easternmost part of Chasovo Yar on the eastern side of the Siversky Donets-Donbas Canal) and have advanced to the northeastern end of the “Canal” near the railway line.
The commander of the Ukrainian battalion operating in the Bakhmut direction reported that the Russian troops had started a new wave of offensives in the Bakhmut direction. The commander stated that Russian troops are concentrating their efforts in the Chasovo Yar area and are continuing their assault on Ivanovskoye as part of an effort to outflank Ukrainian positions at Chasovo Yar.
