Debug Failure. Unhandled SyntaxKind: ImportClause

I'm trying to build a React app using Webpack inside Docker container.

Running the command webpack --mode production --progress --config webpack.prod.js ends up with the following error:

ERROR in ./src/app/App.tsx
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/ts-loader/index.js):
Error: Debug Failure. Unhandled SyntaxKind: ImportClause.

Running the same command to build on host machine (MacOS) works as expected. The container runs on node:16.13.1-alpine official image.
