If the ejaculation occurred without intending to do that, Qadha is must of that fast. Kaffara is obligatory if it was done intentionally. But how can one masturbate with out intending to do it? Was he sleeping. If he masturbates while he was awake then he has committed it intentionally. If he masturbated but his intention was not to reach to ejaculation, and ejaculation occurred with out his control, that might be possible.

Wassalam.

The age of taklif for a female is completion of nine lunar years, which in Gregorian calendar is 8 years, 8 months and 20 days (approximately). 

If she is younger than this, she does not need to make up to anything, and her fasting is just for learning. If she is of taklif age, and she was extremely hungry, unable to continue fasting, she just makes up this day later on as qadha`, and there is no kaffarah. 

It is always strongly recommended to wake up for suhur (pre-dawn) time and have a healthy meal, drink water, etc., to be able to avoid severe hunger during the day, especially for younger people.

And Allah knows best.

No action is due on you.

Qadha fast can be broken deliberately any time before Zawaal (Midday or Dhuhr time)..

If Dhuhr time comes then it will be Haraam to break a Qadha fast.
