Artillery bombardment (9)

I think it could be either:

cannonade

shellfire

'artillery bombardment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for shellfire that I've seen before include "Act of war" , "What generates multiple reports" , "use of artillery" , "Barrage" , "Bombardment from heavy artillery" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
