The June 1950 action that prompted the United Nations to respond with military action was D. North Korea invading South Korea.
The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when North Korean forces, under the direction of Kim Il-sung and supported by the Soviet Union, crossed the 38th parallel and invaded South Korea. This aggressive action led to the United Nations Security Council passing a resolution to repel the North Korean invasion and restore peace in the region. As a result, a UN-backed coalition force, primarily led by the United States, intervened to support South Korea.
