The City Children's Hospital said that during the Lunar New Year holiday, it admitted a girl named HTT (5 years old, living in Binh Chanh district) who lost her left hand due to a firecracker falling on the yard after a neighbor set off fireworks. The medical history showed that on the third day of the Lunar New Year, T. was playing in front of her house. The neighbor set off fireworks. After that, the girl picked up a firecracker on the yard. Unfortunately, the firecracker exploded, injuring her left hand. Immediately, her family took her to the City Children's Hospital for emergency treatment.

At the hospital, doctors noted that T.'s left hand was crushed, and the left side of his abdomen had soft tissue damage. In addition, the victim's right thigh was burned black about 3x2cm due to flying firecracker fragments. Immediately, doctors performed emergency surgery to remove the wound on the left side of his abdomen and right thigh. However, because the left hand was crushed, doctors could not suture and restore it, so they had to amputate it.
