Soviets' construction of intermediate-range ballistic missile sites in Cuba
Time: Saturday Oct 14, 1961
Place: Cuba
Details: On October 14, 1962, CIA U-2 spy planes took photographs of the Soviets' construction of intermediate-range ballistic missile sites in Cuba. The photos were shown to Kennedy on October 16; a consensus was reached that the missiles were offensive in nature and thus posed an immediate nuclear threat.
