Require issue after install

I installed parcel-plugin-imagemin and after this I’ve been seeing a lot of errors like what I have pasted below. Before I installed the plugin, my images were loading without any issues, using the same code.

Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'src/assets/aboutIcon.png'

My render function contains:

                  <img
                    src={require("../assets/aboutIcon.png")}
                    className="about-icon-img"
                    alt="about-icon-img"
                  />

Here is my folder structure:

Also when I tried to use import in the About.js file:

import aboutIconimg from "../assets/aboutIcon.png";

I got the same exact error

Same issue here.
