Hui Tong puts it as "...chin mounted EO turret containing FLIR, CCD TV camera and a laser designator for night/poor weather missions..." -

But so far, there don't seem to be any photographic evidence of laser guided bombs being carried internally or externally. Should be able to carry some GPS/GLONASS/BDS guided munitions internally without much effort. Again, no images available to show that it is actually carrying them though. After-all H-6K is termed a "Missile Carrier".

Exactly and almost sure all HP on H-6 variants are only able to be armed with missiles.

Heck of a nice photo of an H-6K doing exercises over the SCS...I believe with SU-30s,AEW aircraft, and refueling aircraft!

Not as distinct as the earlier pic...but you can sure see those missiles hanging out there on the pylons for all the world to see...an that's the whole point.
