"The final outcome of the fireworks in Iraq yesterday is the death of a child as a result of a gunshot wound and 77 injuries as a result of the fireworks," said ministry spokesman Saif al-Bader, according to Alsumaria News.
A security services source told the news site it had arrested "one person who fired shots of a pistol in the Dora area, south of the capital".
The clip of Jumaili provoked outrage on social media with numerous Iraqis accusing her of irresponsibility and double standards.
A security source told Alsumaria News that celebrations in the capital Baghdad "went smoothly and ended without any security breach", and said it showed "the return of life to normal in all areas of Baghdad".
He added that there had been 10 arrests of "drunkards" and a number of incidents of harassment.
