Iskander missiles were launched from Belarus into Ukraine around 17:00 (15:00 GMT), an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister says.
It comes after President Zelensky's office announced today that Ukrainian and Russian officials are due to meet for talks on the Belarusian border with Ukraine - although they have not said when.
Anton Herashchenko posted the footage on Facebook.
"Iskanders launched against Ukraine from the vicinity of Mozyr," he wrote. "This means they've brought death somewhere... so this is the kind of ceasefire we have?"
A Ukrainian statement earlier said that Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko had "taken responsibility for ensuring that all planes, helicopters and missiles stationed on Belarusian territory remain on the ground during the Ukrainian delegation's travel, talks and return”.
Reviled, harassed, abused: Narendra Modi’s most trenchant critic speaks out
When I talked to the journalist Rana Ayyub in her Mumbai home last Wednesday she was calmer than she was when I had spoken to her three days earlier. But that is not saying much. Last Sunday her words were jumbled, her voice on edge. She said she had not slept. That she could not eat or keep food down. That she had had thoughts of self-harm.
“I was on a plane yesterday and I said to my brother, ‘Can you feel me sitting next to me?’ And he said, ‘Have you completely lost it?’ And I said, ‘No, I’m just not sure I’m sitting next to you. I feel like I’m in a dream.’ And afterwards, I spoke to my psychiatrist and she said, ‘You’re dissociating. You’ve had a traumatic experience –that’s your brain shutting down.’”
In fact, this is a highly rational response to what Ayyub is going through. In a crowded field, she may well be the most hated journalist on Earth.
Opinion: Germany finally stands up to Putin's Russia
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's speech marks a new era in both Germany's relations with Russia and its defense policy. It was about time, says DW's Editor-in-Chief Manuela Kasper-Claridge.
It was a powerful speech on Ukraine that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz delivered in the Bundestag. It was clear that it's the end of ifs and buts, as well as the politics of hesitant little steps. Germany is sending weapons to Ukraine and massively investing in the Bundeswehr. This marks the beginning of a new era, a reality the chancellor himself repeatedly referenced.
Germany's coalition government has taken a clear stance against Russia the aggressor. Finally, NATO allies, in particular the Baltic states, know where they stand with Germany. There is a fear there that Putin's Russia wants to force them into its sphere of influence, along with Ukraine. Scholz made it clear that Berlin will not tolerate that and that it stands firmly behind its NATO
Security in EuropeHow Putin Has Revived the NATO Alliance
Just a few years ago, the French president declared that NATO was "brain dead." Now, after Russia's attack on Ukraine, it is more important than ever. It remains unclear, however, whether the alliance is prepared for the new challenges it faces.

Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), found the expression to be so apt that he used it a couple of times. The current situation, he said in his first public appearance following Thursday’s Russian invasion of Ukraine, is the "new normal."
And that new normal looks like this: The United States is transferring combat helicopters, warplanes and paratroopers to the Baltic states, the British are sending an additional 900 troops to the region and the Germans are boosting their presence by 350 soldiers.
Taliban say no more evacuations until life improves for Afghans abroad
The Taliban will not allow any more Afghans to be evacuated until the situation improves abroad for those who have already left, their spokesman said Sunday.
Families wanting to leave in future would also need a good excuse for doing so, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told a news conference, adding a promise to allow anyone to go abroad was not "continuous".
More than 120,000 Afghans and dual nationals were evacuated up to August 31 when the last US-led troops withdrew, two weeks after the hardline Islamists seized Kabul.
Hundreds more were allowed to leave on flights after that, but the last official evacuation by air was on December 1.
Keio student hunkers down to tell world about Ukraine crisis
A Japanese university student in Kyiv who took shelter in an underground parking garage while Russian missiles rained down on the capital started posting messages on social media to describe his harrowing experience as invading Russian forces advanced across Ukraine.
Tsuyoshi Maehara, 20, a second-year student at Tokyo’s Keio University, has been studying in an integrated information technology project known as the Innovation Park Unit City in the Ukrainian capital since late January.
