Major energy firms, including BP, have pulled out of the World Petroleum Congress amid heightened security concerns following a deadly attack in the Red Sea. The withdrawal comes after at least 12 people were killed in a strike attributed to the Houthi rebel group, raising fears over safety for international delegates. Organizers have yet to confirm whether the event will proceed as planned, leaving participants and industry observers in uncertainty. The decision reflects growing tensions in the region and the challenges of holding large gatherings amid escalating conflict.
