Default Japanese attacks after VJ Day

Any details regarding the Japanese air attack on HMS Bermuda on 6 September 1945? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Bermuda_%28C52%29

Were there any other significant Japanese attacks after VJ day and after this date?

There were always a few incidents where in either the Pacific or in Europe that some did not get the news that the war had ended or where there were diehards that refused to surrender. This happened in quite a few wars over history.

I note there is a slight discrepancy in the "wiki" account;

"Whilst in Sydney, news reached them of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the subsequent surrender of Japan. Bermuda then sailed for the Philippines, arriving on 23 July. She then became part of an operation to recover allied prisoners of war from the previously occupied Japanese territories."

The Bermuda could not have heard of the atomic bombs nor the Japanese surrender in Sydney if she arrived in the Philippines on 23 July, since that date was before the atomic bombs were dropped and three full weeks before Japan actually surrendered. So it's possible the report of being attacked by Japanese planes on 6 September is also in error. The account does not state where the attack took place, nor any other details, so I'm skeptical.
