"npm run" fails with ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED

I have an existing project which I lately installed on a new equipment.
It is a Laravel + vue project.

When I run npm run watch I get the following error:

> development
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js "--watch"
