Pearl Harbour in Hawaii was bombed by the japs in December 1941, and this effectively brought the USA into WWII.

Another bombing raid was mounted on Darwin, Australia in Feb 19 1942, but this is much less well known though it was a larger raid.

How long did it take for the Pearl Harbor attack to hit the headlines?

The attack came in the early morning in Hawaii on December 7, a Sunday. That was about 1 PM on the east coast, 10 AM in California, so Sunday newspapers had already been printed and delivered. Pearl Harbor was the headline in every US newspaper on Monday, December 8, 1941. Most people in the mainland US were going about their normal Sunday activities, and learned of the attack from the radio. Many, if not most, had no idea where Pearl Harbor was located.
