Her father has said that she now undergo an operation to remove foreign objects from her head.
Conrad Diedericks had explained on Facebook that this mortar was shot into the sky to provide light.
"Somewhere there must be the nose which burns and the little parachute which is launched from the pipe together with the nose.
The nose and the body detach after about 16 seconds and the body turns away. That's the part shown on the picture."
Police are investigating.
