Import images using by default webpack configuration

[NatalyIvanova]

I run Angular 11.2.7 project + Storybook 6.2.9 configuration out of the box.
According to documentation, by default webpack configuration allows to import static image file into component.ts and stories.ts:

// MyComponent.stories.js | MyComponent.stories.ts

// This will include './static/image.png' in the bundle. 
// And return a path to be included in a src attribute
import imageFile from './static/image.png';

When the line is added to Button.stories.ts, it causes a compilation error: "TS2307: Cannot find module './assets/image.png' or its corresponding type declarations."

The project structure:
-.storybook
-src
--stories
---assets
----image.png
---Button.stories.ts (the one that imports)

Do I need additional configuration?
