Vue-Router error: "Module build failed: SyntaxError: Unexpected token"

I'm getting the error below by trying to compile this VueJS demo project. I update NPM to the latest stable version and all of the apps dependencies but the error remains.

As soon as I remove vue-router from index.js and main.js the error is gone. This is the error message:

How to fix it? Any ideas are appreciated. Edit: I tried npm install again and got a message about url-loader being vulnerable. I got suggested to run npm install --save-dev [email protected] to fix it. The error remains but could this the root of the cause?
