Do you mean missiles shipment to Cuba? Its the same as the USA today does with its missile installations on the Russian border. "For defense" ;-)
It was because Cuba was attacked by airplanes and landing trops of US-led exile Cubans, i.e. the former Cuban dictator regime. Search for pig beach Cuban invasion at Google or wikipedia.

Why did Khrushchev send a second note to president JFK?
On Friday Oct. 26, 1962 Khrushchev sent two letters to President Kennedy. The first letter was not made public. It was supposedly softer saying Russia would remove its missiles from Cuba if the U.S. would end the quarantine and garantee the U.S. would not invade Cuba. The second letter sounded harsher, seeking the removal of U.S. missiles in Turkey in return for taking Russian missiles out of Cuba.
What was the most dangerous moment in the missiles crisis?
I assume you are asking about the Cuban Missile Crisis? If so then the bay of pigs was very tense, as Cuba/Russia could interpret the attack as a declaration of war against them and could launch. This attack was passed off and the next tense moment arrived at the end of the crisis, Kennedy had 5 options of what to do:Do nothing: American vulnerability to Soviet missiles was not new. Newly placed missiles in Cuba made little strategic difference in the military balance of power.Diplomacy: Use diplomatic pressure to get the Soviet Union to remove the missiles.Warning: Send a message to Castro to warn him of the grave danger he and Cuba were in.Blockade: Use the US Navy to block any missiles from arriving in Cuba.Air strike: Use the US Air Force to attack all known missile sites.Invasion: Full force invasion of Cuba and overthrow of Castro.These options all had negatives especially, 'Do nothing', 'Blockade', 'Air Strikes', and 'Invasion'. Diplomacy seemed to be the only way to solve the problem, however it could mean that Cuba/Russia would not remove the missiles and could leave some there in secret. Cuba remained communist because of Diplomacy, this may not have happened with some of the more violent solutions but those options could have caused missile launches.
