Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Bombardment of Kagoshima, also known as the Anglo-Satsuma War (薩英戦争, Satsu-Ei Sensō), was a military engagement fought between Britain and the Satsuma Domain in Kagoshima from 15 to 17 August 1863. The British were attempting to extract compensation and legal justice from daimyo Shimazu Tadayoshi for the 1862 Namamugi Incident, when a Royal Navy fleet commanded by Sir Augustus Leopold Kuper was fired on from Satsuma coastal batteries near Kagoshima. The British responded by bombarding the city in retaliation, but were unable to gain a conclusive victory and retreated two days later. The Satsuma declared victory and after negotiations fulfilled some British demands for the Namamugi Incident.

Summary from 汉语 / Chinese Wikipedia (zhwiki)

薩英戰争（日语：薩英戦争／さつえいせんそう^{Satsu-Ei Sensō}、英語：Anglo-Satsuma War），又稱鹿兒島砲擊事件（英語：Bombardment of Kagoshima），1863年8月15日－1863年8月17日，是英國為了促使薩摩藩（日本）出面解決生麥事件，交涉未果，而派遣軍艦攻擊鹿兒島灣之砲擊事件。此役在鹿兒島當地又稱「前之濱戰役」。薩英戰爭的結果，令薩摩藩了解到攘夷是不可能實現的事情。英國原本認為薩摩藩不堪一擊，但在砲擊的兩天後撤退，英國亦從原先支持幕府的方針，轉而親近薩摩藩。
