Hurricane Karina, which initially formed as a tropical storm, reached category 3 in the Pacific on Sunday. According to authorities, maximum sustained winds were recorded at 205 kilometers per hour.

Forecasts indicate that the hurricane may intensify further in the coming hours. This classification serves as a measure of the storm's strength and a warning for potential damage in coastal areas.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation and issue warnings regarding the hurricane's path, as intensity changes can occur rapidly in the oceanic environment.
