Importing images breaks jest test

In React components importing assets (ex, import logo from "../../../assets/img/logo.png) gives such error

({"Object.":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,global,jest){�PNG
SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token at ScriptTransformer._transformAndBuildScript (node_modules/jest-runtime/build/script_transformer.js:305:17)

my jest config is

"jest": {
"testRegex": ".*\\.spec\\.js$",
"moduleFileExtensions": [
  "js",
  "jsx",
  "json"
],
"moduleDirectories": [
  "node_modules",
  "src",
  "assets"
],
"moduleNameMapper": {
  "\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|eot|otf|webp|svg|ttf|woff|woff2|mp4|webm|wav|mp3|m4a|aac|oga)$/": "<rootDir>/__mocks__/fileMock.js",
  "\\.(css|less|scss)$": "<rootDir>/__mocks__/styleMock.js"
},
"verbose": true,
"bail": true
}

what am i missing?
