Webpack file-loader not emitting font files

Question

My project file structure:

- dist

- src
  - assets
    - fonts

webpack.config.js

I have the following webpack config entry for file loader:

  context: path.join(__dirname, 'src'),

  output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
    publicPath: '/',
    filename: '[name].js'
  },

  {
    test:  /\.(woff|woff2)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
    exclude: /node_modules/,
    loader: 'file-loader'
  }

And my scss file references the font file:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Interface';
  font-style:  normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: url("/assets/fonts/Interface-Regular.woff2?v=1.6") format("woff2"),
       url("/assets/fonts/Interface-Regular.woff?v=1.6") format("woff");
}

If I go to localhost:{port}/webpack-dev-server the font files are not there. The output from webpack-dev-server also doesn't show anything related to my font files.

Isn't file-loader supposed to provide a copy of the font files to webpack?
