Expo failing to start after no change in project

Expo Development Tools

This is a weird issue which started showing up in last few days on a project in which nothing changed.

$expo start

Cannot find module 'to-regex-range'
Require stack:
- /usr/local/lib/node_modules/expo-cli/node_modules/fill-range/index.js

- /usr/local/lib/node_modules/expo-cli/build/exp.js
- /usr/local/lib/node_modules/expo-cli/bin/expo.js

Nothing changed in this project.
I have tried removing yarn.lock and running “yarn add expo”, after which the expo start works.
However, next day I get into the same issue. Today even after trying various options this problem is persisting and I am unable to start the project.

Here is expo diagnostics output

$expo diagnostics

I suspect that nightly upgrade to OS may have broken something.
I reinstalled expo cli globally and it seems to be working again.
